When solving a combinatorial problem using propositional satisfiability (SAT), the encoding of the problem is of vital importance. We study encodings of Pseudo-Boolean (PB) constraints, a common type of arithmetic constraint that appears in…

A Pseudo-Boolean (PB) constraint is a linear arithmetic constraint over Boolean variables. PB constraints are convenient and widely used in expressing NP-complete problems. We introduce a new, two step, method for transforming PB…

We explore the relations between the Boolean Satisfiability Problem with $n$ Boolean variables and the orthogonal group $\mbox{O}(n)$. We show that all $2^n$ possible solutions induce involutions of $\mathbb{R}^n$ that lie in the compact,…

Regular signed SAT is a variant of the well-known satisfiability problem in which the variables can take values in a fixed set V \subset [0,1], and the `literals' have the form "x \le a" or "x \ge a". We answer some open question regarding…

We propose a polynomially bounded, in time and space, method to decide whether a given 3-SAT formula is satisfiable or not. The tools we use here are, in fact, very simple. We first decide satisfiability for a particular 3-SAT formula,…
